Club Party

The winter club party has been set for February 18th at the St. Louis Park Tavern just as it was last year. You can get there as early as 5:00 and we will eat at 6:00, bowling will start after dinner until 9:30 with more food brought out to our lanes. We should have more time to bowl this year, and when we are done we can use the party room as long as we want.

Go to www.parktavern.net for directions.

Also like last year, I am planning the go kart racing at Pro Kart, there will be a limited number of spots available so please email me or call to reserve your spot asap.

Club Meeting Minutes, for January 25, 2006

Attendance –  14

Mark Brunsberg, Bob Chase , Ken Fastner, Charlie Forrest, Scott Haraldson, Jon Kemnitz, Mark Krey, Matt Leebens, Greg Nelson, John Otto, Paul Spears, Ken Teese, Ross Thompson, Billy May

·         EDITED FOR WEBPAGE

·         There was some discussion about the schedule. It was thought that we may will a March work day at Grantsburg and a May work day at the Nemadji. Nothing was scheduled at this time.

·         A few ideas were discussed about marketing our events. It was thought that a poster might be a good thing to get into dealers and perhaps an ad form of it could be in Cycle USA.  A main goal is to make sure people know that we have practice dates this year. Bob Chase will look into ad rates and deadlines, with the goal of getting something in the March issue of Cycle USA.

·         Mark Krey volunteered to create the sign at our the Grantsburg gate that shows the year’s schedule. Who ever has the stencils, let Mark know so that won’t be a reason for procrastinating on this.

·         MN Off Road needs articles about motorcycling. Ken Fastner has offered to be the writer or at least the article receiver for these articles. If you have any ideas or want to write one yourself, contact Ken.

·         There was some question about how to handle sound tests this year. It was decided to first find out if the district is going to try to dictate a policy on this.

·         A motion was made and passed that any member or guest riding at Grantsburg on non-race days must use a stock or quieter exhaust system.

·         Billy May was voted in as a probationary member. He’s helped out at Grantsburg and Holyoke this year.
